Glycolithocholic acid-d₄ 

Glycolithocholic acid-d₄ is the deuterium labeled Glycolithocholic acid. Glycolithocholic acid, an endogenous metabolite, is a glycine-conjugated secondary bile acid and can be used to diagnose ulcerative colitis (UC), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) ^[1][2][3][4].

1. This compound can be used as a tracer.
2. This compound can be used as an internal standard for quantitative analysis by NMR, GC-MS, or LC-MS.
